How To Use DALL-E 3 Completely For Free! (2024)

DALL-E 3 is officially here, and it's providing strong competition to other AI tools like MidJourney and Stable Diffusion. Hat tip to Matt Vid Pro, who was the first to announce DALL-E 3's accessibility. If you’re eager to dive into this exciting AI tool, here's how you can get started with it completely for free using Microsoft Bing's Image Creator.

Getting Started with DALL-E 3

To access DALL-E 3, head over to bing.com. You may need to log into your Microsoft account. After logging in, you should gain access to Microsoft Bing's Image Creator, which, while not explicitly labeled, appears to be using DALL-E 3.

Browser Tips

Matt Vid Pro suggested that if DALL-E 3 isn’t showing up, you might need to clear your cache or switch browsers to access it. He found success using Firefox after a few trials. For me, it worked directly in Chrome on the first attempt, indicating a gradual roll-out process.

Testing DALL-E 3

To verify if it’s indeed DALL-E 3, I used prompts from an OpenAI blog post showcasing DALL-E 3's capabilities.

Example 1: An illustration of a human heart made of translucent glass.
- Bing Image Creator Output: Highly detailed, albeit with a different depth of contrast.
- DALL-E 2 Comparison: No text rendering and inferior image quality.
Example 2: Papercraft art depicting a girl giving her cat a gentle hug.
- Bing Image Creator Output: Consistent in style but with more contrast.
- DALL-E 2 Comparison: Not as accurate as DALL-E 3.

Using DALL-E 3 for Free in Bing

DALL-E 3 can be accessed for free either in the Bing Image Creator or within Bing Chat. You can generate images at a slower rate after using your daily free credits, but you won't be locked out.

Real-world Examples

I tested different scenarios:

Celebrity Faces: Larry David playing tennis against Serena Williams produced quite interesting results.
Realistic Images: A photograph of a man with a beard taking a picture, leaning towards painterly but notably realistic.

Commercial Applications

Wirestock, a platform that allows users to upload and distribute their images to various stock photo websites, has shown that AI-generated images are increasing in terms of sales. By creating an account on Wirestock, you can start earning from your DALL-E 3-generated art.

Conclusion and Future Prospects

DALL-E 3 is accessible now via Bing, and this is just the beginning. Soon, it will be integrated into ChatGPT, offering elaborate image generation combined with GPT-4's vision model. The future holds exciting prospects for AI art enthusiasts.
